Homemade Tzatziki with Bite

Besides the magic stuff they serve at Souvlaki Hut, this is by far the best tzatziki I've ever had.  Now, I don't know about you, but I looooove garlic.  I don't just like it as in "oh yes put a clove or two in my pasta sauce please"... I like it as in "load up that shiz with 5 or 6 cloves... oh heck, let's just go with 7!" ... YUM!!!

Anyways, my DH is the best cook ever and makes homemade tzatziki for us.  It's super garlicky and thick and creamy and delicious.  Here's the recipe (as dictated by him) so that you can eat it by the spoonful just like me...

What you'll need: 
  • Medium tub of greek yogurt (Danone Oikos is what we used)
  • 5-6 cloves of garlic, put through a garlic press
  • 1/2 peeled English cucumber, diced very finely and drained of all liquid
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
  • A "good drizzle" of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
What to do: 
  1. Drain all liquid from the cucumber by wringing it in a cheesecloth or tea towel.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate overnight to blend flavours. 
  3. EAT lots and taste garlic for the rest of the day

Eat up loves
